Wolverhampton Wanderers pair Ruben Neves and Fabio Silva have reportedly emerged as potential transfer targets for Liverpool.

With several injuries occurring in defence, Jurgen Klopp will prioritise a move for a new centre-back if he enters the January transfer market.

However, according to the Daily Star, the Merseyside giants are also contemplating doing business with Wolves for the second time in a year.

After Diogo Jota left Molineux for Anfield last summer, it is claimed that Klopp is interested in agreeing a deal for Neves.

The Portugal international has just two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract, and the longer it takes to pen an extension will only lead to speculation regarding his future.

Silva, who only joined Wolves earlier this year, is also said to be on Liverpool's radar having previously worked with Liverpool coach Vitor Matos.

Liverpool to battle Arsenal for Ibrahima Konate?

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing RB Leipzig defender Ibrahima Konate.

The Reds are widely expected to bring a new centre-back to the club during the January transfer window, having lost both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez to long-term knee injuries.

Jurgen Klopp's side have been strongly linked with Leipzig's Dayot Upamecano, but according to Bild, the Frenchman's teammate Konate is also being considered.

The 21-year-old would allegedly cost significantly less than Upamecano, although the Premier League champions could face firm competition from Arsenal, who are also said to be interested in signing the France Under-21 international at the start of 2021.

Konate has made 83 appearances for Leipzig since joining the Bundesliga club in 2017 and has a contract at the Red Bull Arena until the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

Liverpool are also reportedly keeping a close eye on Wolverhampton Wanderers duo Ruben Neves and Fabio Silva ahead of potential future approaches.
